When we apply for a mobile phone card online, we often encounter the preferential period and the contract period, and some partners are confused, is the preferential period and the contract period different?The promotion period is completely different from the contract period!How many people are because they don't understand the difference, hurriedly choose to place an order, and finally fall into the pit of the traffic card, so today the number will give you the difference between the popular science discount period and the contract period, and what type of card you should choose when choosing a card.
About the promotion period:
Online discounts** are operators in order to attract new users, in the basic** added some first charge to send phone bills + gift overlay package activities, these free phone bills and traffic overlay packages are all preferential period, the rights and interests enjoyed during the preferential period will not change, once the preferential period expires, ** will basically restore the original monthly rent, no longer enjoy preferential activities.
If the preferential period is long, then the use period will be long, if the preferential period is short, then the use period will be very short, depending on the amount of free phone fees and the amount of free traffic, for example: the first charge of the gift of 24 months, you can show that the preferential period is two years, then the rights and interests we enjoy will not change within two years, and the original will be restored after two years, this is the meaning of the preferential period!
About the contract period:
The contract period is that you cannot handle the cancellation of business and change of business within a certain period of time, otherwise liquidated damages will be incurred, and the specific amount is subject to the operator (generally the amount of preferential treatment, such as cashback).
For example, if you apply for a card and the contract period is 3 months, you cannot cancel the card within 3 months. During the contract period, our ** is not able to handle the cancellation of the business and the change of the ** business, if we force the cancellation or change of the account, there will be liquidated damages, and the specific amount of liquidated damages shall be subject to the operator.
It can be seen from this that the preferential period and the contract period are completely different, the two do not affect each other, the contract period does not affect the preferential period, and the preferential period does not affect the contract period at the same time, and the two can exist at the same time.
Let's take this telecom star card as an example, from the figure, we can see that after participating in the first charge, a 150g national traffic package and 100 minutes of voice will be sent on the original**, valid for 12 months, the validity period here refers to the preferential period, but the following is clearly marked with automatic renewal when the preferential period expires, that is, the free traffic package and voice package are valid for a long time, belonging to a long-term **, you can close your eyes when you encounter this**!
Don't be afraid when you see a contract period, many operators' contract periods are 3 months, and you can cancel them directly if you don't want to use them after 3 months!If the card has both a preferential period and a contract period, and the preferential period of the card is longer than the contract period, then you can consider applyingIf the promotion period of the card is shorter than the contract period, it is recommended to apply carefully!Creative Inspiration Center
